[overdue reactions] Doctor Who - The Chase

[grimorie]

I'm jumping all over the place, I know, unfortunately, I can only watch what's available to me. Also, er, I couldn't get past the Web Planet episodes and landed on The Chase. I've always been curious about Ian and Barbara's exit in context.

I didn't know The Chase was the same story where Steven Taylor would start out as a companion!

I've already seen The Meddling Monk so it was fun to get context with how he started.

The Doctor was terrible at goodbyes right from the start but I love that he softened and showed he would miss Barbara and Ian. I love that we got to see them happily going around London.

It's honestly so refreshing after all the epic tragedies of a Companion Leaving episode.

It really was a lovely departure and I hope to see these kinds of departures again, more of a celebration than tragedy!
